I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a 20-somthing who's trying to figure out life and trying to get by on what amuses me from day to day, and the small amount of money I make. I just finished school and now am a certified semi-genius with my masters in journalism. Just got a job copyediting at the local paper. Someday I plan on moving back to good old C-bus to be with my friends, for now, where I stand is where I am.

I am snobby about music. Either you have taste or you don't. I love going to concerts and spend way too much money on them. I like having conversations about things that matter and oftentimes things that don't. My mind works like a Seinfeld episode and I'm one hell of a random girl.

"Its not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear... It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to."

My Interests

Concerts, sleeping, being barefoot, summer, going to bars with friends, sleeping, reading books that aren't required, rollerblading, rainy days, sleeping, watching football, movies movies and more movies, the GAP, being emo, things that smell good, sleeping, being outside as the sunsets, trying not to be another girl that gets written off, editing and design, good grammar and BIG words

I'd like to meet:

people that are funny, like music, and great to talk to. boys with shaggy hair that smell good. mary poppins. john lennon.

love is a battlefield, heartache to heartache we stand

I can't quite explain it, but lately I've had this complete sense of calm and serenity come over about relationships. For the first time in my life, I don't care. I don't want to be in one. Seriously....
